I prefer a low grade gritty grind. I would never use all these at once, but in certain situations I would use one and have the players make a roll for something. I wrote it up after watching Dirty Jobs tv guy fill in an abandon mineshaft and thought some of the stuff they said was interesting. <br /><br />JD> Thanks. The one time Rob (Conley) convinced me to fo on a LARP event he ran. I got stuck in a cave for several hours waiting for the stupid party to find me. Not going to do that again.Gothridge Manorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371740532802642972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-90131738443811329292010-08-12T17:05:03.957-04:002010-08-12T17:05:03.957-04:00Well written.

I had a claustrophobic freak out when I was crawling through a tunnel following some friends, at one point I realized...oh crap I can't move...everyone else with me was slighter of build and very slowly pulling away from me, with the good light.. and I was stuck and had a really fast freak out fit. I calmed down and very slowly took off my bag, jacket and helmet (a helmet is a must, you are constantly whacking your head or scrapping it crawling about underground) and crawled on, I ripped the hell out of my jacket and almost lost my bag but I got out okay and we were exiting so I got out into the real world.<br />Good thing for fantasy RPg characters most tunnels are 10'wide and 10-15' high.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-33631376613729451532010-08-12T15:12:37.510-04:002010-08-12T15:12:37.510-04:00Good points there.

It might be realistic, but is high-fantasy adventuring fun anymore, if you twist your ankle few feet after the enterance?<br /><br />It might be realistic, but not that genre realistic.<br /><br />Still, nice read bro.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04674233268949925440noreply@blogger.com
